The Call of Duty movie officially became a thing earlier this year, and aside from making fans of Black Ops cry out in pain it promised "an authentic and exciting" take on the Modern Warfare games. Helmed by director Peter Berg who's known for films like Lone Survivor, Battleship, and The Mosquito Bowl, he's now explained a little more about what we can expect from this movie.
"This is not just 'Hey, let’s shoot them all up and shoot popcorn!'", Bergs says in an interview with Comicbook. "There’s a soul underneath it, that I understand and [Call of Duty's co-writer and producer] Taylor Sheridan understands, [it's] not quite as graphically violent as Mosquito Bowl, but there will be a very strong soul, and consequence of war within the film, called 'duty.'"
Modern Warfare is pretty generic, even for Call of Duty, but Berg insists that it's exactly what the film needs, specifically its characters: "Captain Price, and Soap, and Ghost, and Alex—these are complicated humans." I'm certainly intrigued to see how Berg goes about adapting these iconic characters and their stories for the silver screen although any actor will have something of a mountain to climb to win over hardcore fans.
"These are not—and no disrespect—cartoon characters or comic books," Berg says.
